Good haul. What is that overhead console from? I'm considering looking for one for my truck.

Nice LSC wheels !!:D
Those are the earlier LSC turbines that have the stampings on the front side. The wheels were made in England for Ford by a company called GKN.
Thanks fellas, glad to hear the compliments...I'd rather have turbines, but until someone makes 'em in 5 lug....
Dunno why not, we can get pony's in 16" 5 lug, 17" 5 lug...why not turbines...?
Anywho, I hope they'll look good on the car :hick:
Guess I could use some ranger or exploder wheels lol
you CAN get turbines in 5 lug, you just have to know what your looking for ;) think 70's

On a side note, I found this when i was searching for some reason. :hick:

I dunno...I think the offset on some of those wheels would be wrong. Just dunno about the looks, as well.
I did save that Tbird pic though ;)
Technically,they are turbines,but they're not "right".They don't have that look.
Word.
Yup, there's just something "off" about the others. I really love the look of the XR-7/Stang Turbines. I know a bigger wheel would fill the wells better, but I just love the look of the turbines. I had the 16" T/C snowflakes on my car for a year or two, but they just didn't look like a muscle car wheel to me. Turbines bring back memories of the General Lee too!
:mullet:
If you're wanting the General Lee style then what you really need is a set of American Racing Vectors. I remember seeing them for sale on Summit a while back.
LSC turbines are more in the class of '80s wheels like basketweaves. Painting them black in the center really wakes them up.
They're not for everybody, but I like them and they're cheap. :hick:

I'm not looking for an exact General Lee style, and if I remember correctly, those were only 14" anyway. I just think the XR-7/Stang turbines are reminiscent of the vectors just enough to give a hint of the old muscle car look, yet very 80's style. Those LSC wheels are very nice, but too classy/refined for the muscle car look that I like. Very nice 5 lug alternative though!
